Liga Sagres wrap: Naval stun Benfica, Porto survive scare

Naval 1 de Maio kept their survival chances alive with a thrilling 2-1 home victory against Benfica in Sunday’s Liga Sagres action.

The strugglers moved to within four points of safety after the victory, which was kick-started by Bruno Moraes’ opener in the 22nd minute.

But Benfica, who thumped PSV 4-1 on Thursday, were triggered into action and grabbed an equaliser nine minutes before the break when Alan Kardec leveled proceedings.

Benfica were expected to go on and win the game but Rogerio Goncalves’ side were desperate for the points and claimed an unlikely winner when Marinho scored for just the second time this season with seven minutes remaining.

Champions Porto won 3-2 at bottom side Portimonense, but the result did not come without a scare.

Fatigued after their own Europa League heroics on Thursday, Porto started slowly but hit the lead when Hulk scored for the 31st time in all competitions this season just five minutes into the second half.

Portimonense hit back when Ruben scored on the hour mark, and although Falcao replied three minutes later, George Mourad’s 84th-minute equaliser looked to have sealed a point for the hosts.

But Porto had other ideas and Maicon bagged the winner with four minutes to play to end a fantastic second half of football.

On a day in which all the strugglers played well, Vitoria Setubal, who sit 14th and just four points above Naval 1 de Maio, won 4-1 at home against Uniao de Leiria.

William scored the opener after 27 minutes before Neca, Claudio Pitbull and Jose Pedro scored in the second half.

Fabricio pulled back a late consolation goal for Uniao, but the hosts held on to record an easy victory.

Rio Ave fell a goal behind before netting six second-half goals to thrash Pacos de Ferreira 6-1.

Mario Rondon scored the opener 17 minutes but Joao Tomas struck in the 50th minute from the penalty spot, and then 14 minutes later to edge Rio Ave in front.

Further goals to Braga, Tarantini and a Saulo double ensured an easy victory.

In the day’s other match, Wilson Eduardo’s 59th-minute strike handed Beira Mar a 1-0 home win over Olhanense.

Liverpool And Arsenal Target £20m FC Porto Defender

20million target for Liverpool and Arsenal according to his agent Peppino Tirri.

The 25-year-old is under contract until 2014 and is apparently open to a move to the Premier League.

The Portugal international has won 10 caps for his country and has helped his side win the Portuguese league with five games to spare.

Liverpool have been linked with a move for the defender for a while as they seek a long-term replacement for Jamie Carragher and Sotirios Kyrgiakos.

Now Arsenal have entered the race as their own defensive frailties have emerged again and again this season.

Tirri claims there are two Premier League clubs after the highly-rated centre-back but the two teams could face more competition from Europe.

FC Porto Forced to Celebrate Title In Darkness as Benfica Get Petty (Video)

4 comments by Mad Dog and Glory on April 4th, 2011

This is amusing. FC Porto won the Portuguese title on the weekend, well done to them, they did so without losing a game and a win at arch rivals Benfica set the party starting however the home side decided that they would ruin their fun by turning off the floodlights and switching on the sprinklers, which is a little petty if you ask me. If anything the sprinklers just made the party even more fun, everyone knows that sprinklers make any party better! Spotted on the excellent Who Ate All The Pies.

Arsenal Target FC Porto Boss as Long Term Arsene Wenger Replacement

Arsenal are reportedly eyeing up FC Porto manager Andre Villas Boas as a future replacement for Arsene Wenger. The 33 year old Portuguese boss has guided his side to the domestic title in his first season and has done so without losing a game whilst also gone 12 games unbeaten to take his side to the Quarter Finals of the Europa League.

Often likened to former Porto boss Jose Mourinho, Boas has worked as the Real Madrid manager’s assistant at both Chelsea and Inter Milan but has begun to earn a name for himself as a up and coming manager with a great deal of potential.

Though Arsenal have no concrete plans to replace Wenger it appears that the club’s board have been monitoring Boas’s progress and may well look to bring the young manager in to replace their mercurial Frenchman. The current Gunners boss has been in his post for almost 15 years but has experienced something of a sticky patch of late.

If the Emirates outfit fail to secure a Premier League title this term it would result in six seasons without silverware and the club’s support, though loyal to Wenger, may start to waiver after such a prolonged period without tangible success.

Boas is known for his insistence that his players play a cultured style of football and could therefore be the type of manager the North London side turns too when the time is right.

Europa League preview: Porto flying high ahead of Russia trip

FC Porto travel to CSKA Moscow on Thursday armed with one of the strongest attacks in the Europa League.

Porto, 11 points clear of second-placed Benfica, are running away with the Liga Sagres and on course to collect their 25th title.

They topped their Europa League group ahead of Besiktas and accounted for La Liga side Sevilla in the second round.

After a 2-1 victory in Spain and a 1-0 loss in the return at home, Porto needed the away goals rule to get past Sevilla.

But knocking out the experienced Champions League campaigners remains an impressive achievement.

Porto can boast two of the best strikers outside of the major European leagues in Brazilian Hulk and Colombian Radamel Falcao, ably assisted by Portuguese midfielder Silvestre Varela.

The team is coached by 33-year-old prodigy Andre Villas Boas, who served as Porto assistant under Jose Mourinho and is tipped by many to replicate the master tactician’s impressive achievements.

Standing in their way are CSKA, who won the competition as the UEFA Cup in 2005.

They reached the Champions League quarter-finals last season, losing 2-0 on aggregate to eventual winners Inter Milan.

CSKA are part of a strong Russian presence in this season’s competition.

Russian Premier League leaders Zenit St Petersburg – who won the UEFA Cup in 2008 – are away to FC Twente, while Spartak Moscow are also in the Netherlands to meet Ajax Amsterdam.

All of the Eredivisie’s three representatives are at home, with league leaders PSV Eindhoven playing host to Scottish Premier League side Glasgow Rangers.

In other matches, Portuguese side Braga – who edged out Porto to achieve Champions League qualification last season – are at home to English club Liverpool.

Liverpool’s Premier League rivals Manchester City also have an away match – they make the long flight to take on Dynamo Kiev of the Ukraine.

Villarreal, fourth in La Liga, travel to Germany to play Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen, while French club Paris Saint-Germain are in Portugal to meet Benfica.

Liga Sagres: Porto 2 Vitoria Guimaraes 0

Unbeaten Porto made it nine league wins in a row with a routine 2-0 dismissal of 10-man Vitoria Guimaraes in the Liga Sagres on Saturday.

Falcao was on hand to put the hosts ahead just after the hour, and Guimares conceded a late second goal to Cristian Rodriguez after losing Mahamadou N’Dyiae to second caution in the 87th minute.

Leading scorer Hulk was absent from Porto’s line-up at the Estadio do Dragao, handing Colombian youngster James Rodriguez a chance to impress in his place.

But it was Guimaraes who threatened first, when Porto right-back Fucile dallied and Tiago Targino stole in behind the defence.

But the home side’s goalkeeper Helton was equal to the angled shot, and that was to be as busy as he would be for the first half as Porto soon began to dictate terms.

Falcao went close on six minutes, but his left-foot snap-shot was parried by Guimaraes goalkeeper Nilson.

Maicon should have put Porto in front just one minute later, heading poorly went presented with an almost-empty goalmouth from a free kick.

Uruguay international midfielder Alvaro Pereira shot wide on 28 minutes when a cross might have been a better option, but Guimaraes was able to hold out to the half-time break.

A tepid start to the second period was broken by Falcao on 67 minutes, with the Colombia striker getting on the end of a slide-rule through ball to score his 11th league goal of the season.

Fredy Guarin’s long-range volley was beaten away by Nilson five minutes later as Porto pushed for a second, which they eventually found following N’Dyiae’s sending off.

The build-up was a thing of beauty, as Pereira collected a Guimaraes corner kick at left back and swept a long ball forward that was in turn played on to Rodriguez steaming down the middle.

The Uruguayan midfielder charged into the area, drew Nilson forward and slid in a perfect glance past the goalkeeper to the far post.

Porto improve to an 11-point gap over second-placed Benfica, who will take on Sporting Braga on Sunday.

Liga Sagres wrap: Porto end Olhanense run, Pacos up to fourth

Leaders Porto dealt Olhanense their first loss in five matches in Portugal’s Liga Sagres with a 3-0 victory on Saturday.

Olhanense kept the Portuguese powerhouse at bay for the opening hour of play at Estadio Jose Arcanjo, before Fernando Belluschi found a way past the home side’s defence to score in the 68th minute.

Radamel Falcao added 70th and 90th minute goals to extend Porto’s lead atop the table to 11 points from Benfica.

Pacos de Ferreira won their fifth straight match, and extended their unbeaten streak to 10 in all competitions with a 2-0 victory over Vitoria Setubal.

Mario Rondon and Filipe Anunciacao were on target either side of half-time for the home side at Estadio da Mata Real, helping them rise into fourth place on the table.

Europa League: Porto 0 Sevilla 1

Porto won a thrilling Europa League tie over Sevilla on away goals, despite the Spaniards claiming the second leg 1-0 on Wednesday.

The Portuguese club claimed a 2-1 away win in the opening leg of their round-of-32 encounter and, while Sevilla went ahead in the 71st minute via Luis Fabiano at the Estadio Do Dragao, they could not find an overall winner.

Porto looked to seal the tie just moments prior to the game’s only goal, when Hulk was one-on-one with Sevilla goalkeeper Javi Varas – in for the injured Andres Palop – but the Brazilian striker fired his shot wide of the right post.

Fabiano capitalised as Sevilla hit Porto on the break, and defender Alvaro Pereira’s red card in the 72nd minute for a two-footed challenge gave the Spaniards an extra man and hope of progressing to the final 16.

But the seventh-placed La Liga club almost immediately lost their numerical advantage when Alexis was shown a red card in the 77th minute, and Porto held on for an away goals victory.

Sevilla will take little solace in holding Porto scoreless for the first time in 29 matches in all competitions this season, with the Liga Sagres leaders eight points ahead of defending champions Benfica and an enormous 23 points clear of third-placed Sporting Lisbon on the table.

Europa League preview: Porto v Sevilla

Sevilla travel to Porto’s Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday faced with the prospect of elimination from the Europa League.

Spanish side Sevilla trail 2-1 following a home defeat in the first leg of their round-of-32 tie at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on February 17.

Centre-forward Frederic Kanoute equalised after Rolando’s opener, but the former Mali international then became the villain of the piece for the home fans.

Kanoute missed an open goal from barely three yards out that would have made it 2-1.

He later gifted possession to Porto in midfield, allowing substitute Cristian Rodriguez to steal in and set-up Fredy Guarin for the winning goal.

With two away goals to their name from the first leg, Porto are undeniably in command.

Sevilla will need to score at least twice and keep a clean sheet if they are progress.

But if Porto score, the visitors must then find three goals or more to make it through.

The bad news for the Spanish club is that Porto have not failed to find the net in 29 matches this season, while keeping 16 clean sheets.

Led by highly-rated coach Andre Villas-Boas – a student of Jose Mourinho – Porto are romping away with the Liga Sagres, eight points ahead of defending champions Benfica and an enormous 23 points clear of third-placed Sporting Lisbon.

Sevilla were forced to battle to a tight 1-0 win over Hercules in La Liga on Sunday, while Porto – without a domestic fixture – enjoyed a valuable rest.

The hosts should welcome back Columbian Radamel Falcao to the starting line-up after he missed the trip to Spain with a knee injury.

He will join Brazilian forward Hulk and winger Silvestre Varela in one of the most potent attacking forces outside of the major European leagues.

Sevilla will be without Martin Caceres, Romaric and first-choice goalkeeper Andres Palop, meaning Javi Varas will deputize between the sticks.

And despite their significant absentees, Varas believes his side remain in with a chance of reaching the last 16.

He said: “If we aren’t convinced that about getting through, then who would be?”

“In the first leg we did enough to get a better result, but if we play like that again in Wednesday’s game and have a little more luck we will have our chances of getting through,” Varas said.

Liga Sagres wrap: Porto retain clear lead

Porto continued their march to the Liga Sagres title with a 2-0 win over Braga on Sunday, while Benfica beat Vitoria Guimaraes.

Braga finished second last season to qualify for the Champions League and were one of the few teams who may have been expected to trouble Porto.

But the runaway leaders made it eight wins from their last eight matches to stay 11 points clear at the top of the table.

The hosts kept Porto out in the opening 45 minutes at the Estadio municipal de Baga, but a second-half brace from Argentine Nicolas Otamendi helped Porto to a straightforward victory.

The defeat leaves Braga sixth and in danger of going from the Champions League group stages to missing out on European football altogether next season.

Benfica continued their seemingly doomed title defence with a 3-0 win at home to fourth-placed Vitoria Guimaraes.

Brazilian Sidnei struck first in the 24th minute at the Estadio da Luz, before former Valencia man Pablo Aimar and Carlos Martins completed the scoring.

Naval beat Academica 3-1 at Estadio Municipal Jose Bento Pessoa to climb off the foot of the table with just their third win of the season.

Visitors Academica got off to a disastrous start when Pape Habib Sow was sent off after giving away a penalty in the 21st minute.

Kevin Gomis converted from the spot to give Naval the lead.

Michel Simplicio struck to double the hosts’ advantage five minutes before the break.

A second-half comeback appeared to be on the cards when Gomis fouled inside the box and followed Sow in making an early exit.

Moudou Sougou dispatched the penalty to make it 2-1 six minutes into the second half.

But Academica were unable to find another breakthrough and Giuliano struck to ease the nerves for Naval with three minutes remaining.

Portimonense slid to last place after losing 2-0 away to Rio Ave, with Joeo Tomas and Yazalde Pinto finding the net for the hosts.

A last-minute goal from Venezuelan Mario Rondon helped Pacos de Ferreira beat Maritimo 1-0.
